Best Love Songs of All Time

Well, today is the last day of February, the month of love — according to those who take Valentine’s Day über seriously, at least. With all the romance that’s been in the air lately, I’ve gotten to thinking about love songs. What are your all time favorites?

But, being that most songs in the world are about love, of course there are zillions of other worthy contenders. As I write this, I’m listening to “Never Let Me Go” by Florence + the Machine. That song is amazingly beautiful. I’d also argue that “I Want to Hold Your Hand” by The Beatles, “Close to You” by The Carpenters, “Ghosts That We Knew” by Mumford and Sons, and “The Luckiest” by Ben Folds should be on the list.

hmmm I never seem to like those official best ones. “Never let me go” is a really good one, though. Also “First Day of my Life” by Bright Eyes, Ben Harper’s “Forever”, Elliot Smith “Between the Bars” — and as we are getting into sad love song territory, definitely A Fine Frenzy’s “Almost Lover”
